Kids science: Weather Science >> Earth Science for Kids Weather is sunshine, rain, snow, wind, and storms. It's what is going on outside right now. The weather is different at different places around the planet. In some places it's sunny right now, while in other places it's snowing. Many things affect the weather including the atmosphere, the Sun, and the season. The science of weather is called meteorology. Different places in the world tend to have different kinds of weather. Wind What is Wind? Wind is the result of air moving around in the atmosphere. Wind on the Earth On the Earth there is always an area of low pressure at the poles where the air is always cold. Precipitation (rain and snow) When water falls from clouds it's called precipitation. We get snow when the temperature is below freezing and small ice crystals stick together to form snowflakes. Clouds Clouds are tiny drops of water in the air. Clouds form from condensed water vapor. Not all clouds are the same. Weather Fronts Activities

THE WEATHER DISASTER by Matthew McElligott , Matthew McElligott Having survived disastrous dinosaurs in the first series installment, students at the Mad Scientist Academy now attempt to comprehend the mystery of weather. Six students make up the class assembled outside the laboratory: an amphibious creature, a werewolf, a robot, a vampire, a giant insect, and a monster resembling Frankenstein’s. Dr. Cosmic, whose flaming red hair recalls another cartoon scientist beloved by children, is ensconced in a wearable weather balloon, ready to test its efficacy. His colleague, meteorologist Nimbus, works the controls. With outlandish situations rendering scientific concepts memorable, McElligott has concocted a winning formula for learning as entertainment.
